I created a small custom mission for testing and hopefully attached it to this post. It's a .zip file renamed to .pdf so I could attach it. After renaming it back to zip one can unpack it to Single Missions folder and and play it. I'll be very grateful, regardless if your game is stock or not.

The mission puts you on a submerged S-boat with 3 freighters in the vicinity. A Small Old Merchant at ~0 deg, an Old Split Merchant at ~305 deg behind the horizon and a Modern Composite Merchant at ~50 deg, also behind the horizon. I can hear the Old Split Merchant at ~305 deg and none of the other two ships. I can swim close to the Small Old Merchant and still not hear it. AI may detect all three ships after a while but this changes nothing. Oddly it will report contacts on the Report Contacts button but will say No contacts! on the Follow Nearest Contact button.

If you launch a torpedo at the Small Old Merchant, it's screw sound will suddenly appear when the torpedo gets very close (like 5 last seconds before impact).

If someone could check this mission and confirm or deny my observations I'll grateful. I hope it's something on my side that I can eventually solve. Otherwise such a bug is a gamebreaker for me, now that I'm aware of it's existence...

i was not playing stock.

can't remember if it was TMO(ducimus) or FOTRSU or RFB, but it was not stock.

just for the record, my baseline is version 1.5 Gold with Uboat Missions. DVD.

if i get some time this evening i'll try and play that single mission.



p.s. ok, using a Stock installation, i loaded up Borneo Convoy, which seemed to match your mission description.



we were detected without much delay and i was able to use the hydrophone and get range on one of the merchies as well as the escort who had detected us and was bearing down on our position.
